"‘Watching Dead Empires in Decay’, a new album recorded under another of Kirby’s pseudonyms ‘The Stranger’ and released on Modern Love, a label that has been close to Kirby through these last eventful 15 years. It’s complex, singular, enigmatic, percussive, dark, and you just can’t work out how it was constructed. Gone are the sampled 78’s of The Caretaker, but it also doesnt exactly sound electronic - you just can’t quite fathom how any of it was put together: Field Recordings? Found Sounds? Sheets of metal scraped and hammered? Drum machines re-wired? It’s stark and unsettling, haunted, even troubling - but often just beautiful." 00:00 - We Are Enemies But Not Here 02:34 - So Pale It Shone In The Night 08:55 - Spiral Of Decline 13:23 - We Scarcely See Sunlight 18:38 - Providence or Fate 24:03 - Where Are Our Monsters Now, Where Are Our Friends? 31:17 - Grey Day Drift 36:59 - Ill Fares The Land 40:04 - About To Enter A Strange New Period All scans of the CD, high resolution.
